The procedure to pick Churchill, Kate, Wahu,Akothee, Azziad and others was shoddy and a clear abuse of power.
Charles Mugane claims that the committee, which is headed by comedian Daniel (Churchill) Ndambuki, is illegitimate and that individuals appointed to the committees were picked with minimal regard for “the idea of meritocracy” in the lawsuit filed by Mugane Advocates.
Charles continued by saying that because the appointments were done at the expense of the public involvement and minimal disposable funds, they violated the public trust that the Kenyan people had in them.
The petitioner further asserts that the appointments were made in contravention of Article 10 of the Constitution, which lays forth the guiding ideals and values of the country, including responsibility, openness, and good governance.
He claimed that the selecting process was poor and plainly displayed the abuse of authority and power by CS Ababu Namwamba.
The process did not go through a proper scrutiny and transparency he says.
Two technical committees, Sports and Creatives, make up the Talanta Hela council founded by Ababu Namwamba, Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports, and the Arts.
Ababu himself will preside over the Council, which has a three-year term.
Awadhi Salim Awadhi, Jimmi Gathu, Azziad Nasenya, Akinyi OdongoEsther Akoth, Kizito Makhande, Rosemary Wahu Kagwi, Susan Ekasiba, Douglas Kipkirui Langat, and Catherine Kamau are among the 10 members of the Creatives Technical Committee, which is led by comedian Daniel Ndambuki, better known as Churchill.
Robert Alai was among the first citizens to critique the selection of Azziad Nasenya.
Kevin Mutai, Alfred Makotsi, Boniface Ambani, Collins Kale, Julius Kiplagat Yego, Neddy Kutsuru, Staicy Shariffa Ochieng, Sammy Tiyoi Shollei, Shilovelo Winna Shilavula, and Daniel Nakeor Losiru are among the 11 members of the Sports Technical Committee, which is chaired by Carol Radul.
Both groups are in charge of, among other things, assisting Kenya’s bid to host important regional, continental, and international sporting events, evaluating and recommending legislative and policy measures for the growth of sports, and using the digital space for talent search, identification, nurturing, and exposure.
